before this committee up until

ments which it had seized, the
committee . described in detail
activities which it attributed to
the Transocean News Service,

Industrial Plan
The report also said that the
committee had seized in files
of the Chemical Marketing com
pany In New York a plan entitled
'The Organization of GermaA
Industry in America After the
War."
This organization, the commit
tee said, was "typically charac
teristic of the thoroughness of the
German mind and its ability to
foresee in great detail future de
velopments. "The plan lacks nothing in
Its effectiveness or in detail for
the contemplated organization,
not merely of industry and trade,
but also proposals to combine
these spheres of activity with a
great banking Institute to under
write and support the financing
of German industry, and trade
activities," the report said.
"The plan goes still further
In that it also contemplates
through cultural academic as
sociations and circles the cooper
ation of the professional and
academic world banded together
In typical front organizations',"
, The report asserted that the.
plan showed a 'very definite
link" with German industrial
life by providing that activities
in this country should be directed

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 21 UP)
Success in some form for a
measure that would drive rack
eteers out of its labor unions
was forecast today by a key man
in the American Federation of
Labor.
But while the rest of the AFL
convention delegates observed
Thanksgiving day, representa
tives of the International Ladies'.
Garment Workers, which has
100,000 members in the New
York area, met to consider de
mands for a wage hike and the
possibility of a strike.
New Contract
David Dubinsky, one of the
authors of the anti-racketeering
measure and president of the
garment workers, said:
"Our ILGW general executive
board, which meets every three
months, was called into session
today to work out a contract for
the one expiring February 1.
"We'll want to preserve our
present 35-hour week and may
ask for higher wages. Because
of these and other demands we
will also consider the possibility
of a strike."
Raps Gangsterism
"I don't see how the conven
tion can fall to act favorably on
the anti-racketeering resolu
tion," said an official who is a
member of the AFL executive
. council and the resolutions com
mittee. The executive council in Its
annual report condemned gang
. sterlsm within unions but ac
knowledged that the general
body of the AFL lacked consti
tutional authority to deal with
the problems as it arose in in
dividual unions.
The resolution, introduced by
Dubinsky and other members of
his ILGW, called upon the con
vention to vote the AFL consti
tutional authority to smash rack
eteering within a union.

' President at Home
President Roosevelt, like mil
lions of other citizens, fell in
with the mellowed custom of a
family holiday church services,
a quiet home dinner, and hours
of friendly talk. Mr. and Mrs.
Roosevelt visited at Hyde Park,
N. Y., with the president's moth
er, Mrs. Sara Delano Roosevelt
Churches held special Thanks
giving services for communi
cants seeking spiritual reassur
ance in a world at war. The
president's proclamation had
called on Americans to "give
thanks for our preservation" in
a year which saw "calamity and
sorrow" fall upon other nations.
War News Banned
The Atlanta Constitution
swept all war news from its
front page and devoted the en
tire space to accounts of holiday
festivities and a picture of three
small girls kneeling in church
services "confident of showers
of blessings, fearing no shower
of bombs."
Although thanks for peace and
freedom were the keynotes of
the day, they came from a nation
looking to its defenses as the

Churchill said "the valiant
and sudden uprising" of the
Greeks had already "almost
purged" thoir soil of an attack
which he described as ''pure

The prime minister expressed
hope that Britain would be able
to give from her resources, "al

ful measure of assistance to the
Greeks" and that "we shall be
able to discharge our responsi
bility to Egypt in defending Its

artery of the Suez canal."
"Even if the whole of the
homes all over the country are

shall still be found all standing
together and we shall build
them up again after the fight
ing is Qvcr."
He urged the house of com-
mnm not to lose siflht of its
democratic duty of "giving
guidance to the nauon ana, u
necessary, correction to the ex
ecutive." Parliament, he said, .stood as
custodian of the people's "sur

this added money we'll begin to

we'll have the money to PAY

out LESS of theso things we'll

The result will be (Dr. Foster
says) that we'll begin to BID
UP the price for the things we
want. In other words, there will
be more buyers than sellers.
So prices will rise. Steadily
rising prices will mean inflntlon.
